Incredibly Gorgeous Watercolor Tattoos You’ll Want To Get

When you think of tattoos, what do you usually imagine? Is it the old school black and white or greyscale tattoos?

Or you do think of the traditional tattoos that are quite colorful but always stay within the lines? Or perhaps you think of silly tattoos of cartoon characters, or maybe your mind immediately jumps to images of Chinese dragons. The point is, there are a lot of tattoo styles, but most of them do require harsh lines. But there’s a style of tattoos that doesn’t – watercolor tattoos. These tattoos look much softer and, as the name suggests, they look like they’ve just been painted on by watercolors. So let’s take a look at some amazing examples of watercolor tattoos.

This is a great idea for creative people. The watch can represent that you don’t care about time as a concept and that being an artist is more important. The picture on the right is a great tattoo option for painters who don’t mind treating their body like a canvas.

Watercolor tattoos are great at filling in backgrounds and making the tattoo stand out. You can probably easily imagine both of these tattoos as just black, only the outlines, and they’d still look cool, but the watercolor background certainly adds some flair.

You can also incorporate your profession or passion into your watercolor tattoos. For example if you’re a musician the option on the left seems perfect for you. If you’re a scientist – the option on the right looks pretty rad, doesn’t it?
